It started many others In Its downward roll, loft the usual track, broke through and destroyed an old straggling larch forest and completely burled n big chalet In which twenty- six persons bad taken refuge. Of these nineteen were killed and seven saved. Tills avalanche found a flnnl resting place In a lake which its broken masses struck with terrific impact, causing thousands of fish to rise to the surfneo, quite dead. This reminds me that yearly tens of thousands of chamois, foxes, marmots and all kinds of birds, Including even the lordly eagle himself, grp destroyed by ava lanches and their attendant hurri canes.

About the middle of the seventeenth century Isaac dc la I’eyrerc, In an odd little volume entitled “The Pro-Adam- ftes,” attempted to prove flint there were two creations of men—the first on the sixth day of the week of creation, when "God created man male and re male." The rabbis interpret the above passage of holy writ os dieanlng'that the first race of human beings wore creatures In which both sexes were united In tlio same Individual. Accord ing to Do la Peyrere, Adam was the ro suit of the second creation, the "male and female" being hnving been the pro genltor of thc| gentiles, Adam the fa ther of the Jews. A great many peo pie fell In with the views of De la Poy- rere, and ho was the lion of the hour. His followers ‘were culled “pre-Adam- ltes,” and they Increased In numbers rapidly until finally the movement be came so strong that the founder of tlih sect was compelled to go to Rome and abjure his doctrine at the foot of Pope Alexander VII. • $258,900.81 fei JOE Ha MYER8, ProHiil«nt.

No where may one turn without being re minded of tho legends that have been woven around the fofrty-nlners and their immediate followers. The nnmes of the streets and of the business blocks, such ns Kearney, Sutter, Mont gomery, Dupont, Flood, Crocker and Sharon, bring to the miud of the visitor long forgotten stories of riot or adven ture and of fortunes whose vastness once excited his wonder or made him incredulous. To read the words that nTo painted upon the street cars of San Francisco is to bo carried back in fan cy to tho time when the city was peo pled only by those who, having turned from all else that men hold dear, hnd gone in search of fortune and found it, always just ns they wero about to glvo up in despair and die of ‘starvation or succumb to the hardships with -which human endurance could no longer cope. —Chicago Record-Herald. 8avag«a and Snuff. The habit of snuff taking has been confirmed among savage f tribes for ages past. In South Africa it is used among Swazis, Basutos and Matubeles. Every Zulu today, even in towns, car ries a little square box suspended around his neck by u piece of string or gut, and the snuff spoon (for they do not Indulge iu tho homely “pinch”}, carved out of sheep’s bone, often or namented with intricate geometrical designs and for convenience carried hanging downward through n slit in tiie, lobe of the ear. The Zulu regards the lobe of bre ear as a useful recep- table for various snfall articles he meets with. The umfaan, or house boy, universally met with In Na(al, has a penchant for safety pins, which have to be carefully bidden from ids sharp eyes. Even then he is usually "to be seen, after going through the rooms, with a string of these pins susiiendcd from each ear until they reach his shoulders.

'Red neckties are always worn by foreign brakemen and conductors. Ev es notice it?” said a railroader. “No. Why is it?” “As a safety device,” was the reply. “These red neckties that ,flash upon your gaze ou the railroads of Italy, France, Germany and England are not a sign that the people have a gay ( taste, but that they are cautious and prudent. ~ “The neckties are supplied free by the railroad companies for use as dan ger signals in emergency.

In the early days of our history lt> was known as the Dark and Bloody Ground, being 60 termed by the fudinns. It was then a debatable land between the Indians living north of the Ohio and those living In the mountains of Tennessee and Georgia, a sort of battleground for these tribes, which fact gave It the name long before It was settled by the whites. r Automatic Stave Razor - Yourself Why be a slave to a Barber, when you Vcan buy a ZINN 8AFETY RAZOR and shave yourse If7 No more waiting all day for your turn to come.

Price nnil Imagination. Housewives are apt to judge the quality of groceries by the price paid for them. As nn Illustration of this a grocer' tells tl)£ following story: “I hnd two qualities of flour—one fine and the other poor. One day 1 accidentally sold one for the ^tlier. My customers, who paid a high price for tho poor quality, said that It lmd given entlrp satisfaction, while those who bad-re ceived the fine flour for a low price complained of it, and a few^returned It as unfit for use.” Odd Graveyard Inscription*. At Worcester, England, tho slab erected over a departed autiouecr is in scribed with a single word, “Goue.” In Sussex the initials aud date of the death of the deceased are followed by two words, “He was.” The most re markable inscription is at Cane Hill cemetery, Belfast, tvhere the inscrip tion says, “Left till called for.” — Affection.
